MAN ACCUSED OF ARSON

A Deerfield Beach man was charged with arson Monday after setting fire to the roof of his girlfriend's apartment, police said.

Police said Roy Roland, of 130 NW Third St., was angry about another man his girlfriend was seeing when he splashed gasoline on the roof of a building in the 300 block of Northeast First Avenue and set it on fire.

According to reports, several witnesses saw Roland on the roof about 10 p.m. and called police. Another building resident put the fire out with an extinguisher before police arrived, they said.

Roland, 55, was taken into custody near the building a short time later. The fire caused minor damage, police said.

MAN CHARGED WITH THROWING BOTTLE

A Pompano Beach man was charged with throwing a deadly missile and aggravated battery Sunday after throwing a beer bottle at a cashier at the drive-through window at Burger King, police said.

John Michael Yokawanis, of 1200 S. Dixie Highway, was arrested shortly after the incident at the restaurant in the 100 block of North Federal Highway, police said.

Yokawanis pulled up to the drive-through window about 1 a.m. and wanted to order food. When a cashier told him the restaurant was closed, Yokawanis threw a beer bottle at the window, police said.
